Despite the devastating loss to France in the Euro 2024 final, England forward Cole Palmer wasted no time getting back to training.

Palmer played on the team that advanced to the semifinals in Germany; he had five appearances throughout the tournament and scored the winning goal, which appeared to send England into overtime.

Unfortunately for England, Mikel Oyarzabal scored with a few minutes left on the clock to kill any hope of a repeat European Championship final appearance for the Three Lions.The players returned from their trip to Germany on Monday, the same day that Gareth Southgate announced his resignation as manager and several players were getting ready to take a vacation.

In contrast, Palmer was photographed doing weights at the gym that night in preparation for the upcoming Premier League season.The 22-year-old, clad in athletic apparel, was shown on video going through a shoulder press with an individual who seemed like a personal trainer, as the film surfaced on social media.

Cole Palmer returned to the subject, according to the caption.

In his debut season with the Blues following his summer transfer from Manchester City, Palmer had a breakout performance, registering 22 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League.

He has risen to become one of the league’s most highly regarded players and looks raring to go after skipping what could have been a much-needed break in order to hit the gym first thing in the morning.

After Enzo Maresca replaced Mauricio Pochettino as manager during the offseason, Chelsea will begin their preseason campaign on Thursday, July 25, with a match against Wrexham in the US.

Palmer could be named to the traveling team, and players participating in the 2024 Euro or the Copa Am may be given additional time off, but they are not have to use it.

Even though they were absent from the summer’s international tournaments, Chelsea have resumed their preseason training.

As a video of a training session at Cobham was made public, Maresca found it difficult to conceal his anger towards one player.

“Noni, two touches, three touches is too much,” Maresca reportedly told winger Noni Madueke in a training video.Meanwhile, Palmer was among the English players who expressed their regret following the final loss to Spain. He looked distraught on the field at full time and was one of several who spoke out following the match.

You can take heart from the fact that we reached another final, he remarked. The fact that we didn’t go the extra mile is disappointing, but it’s clear that everyone else wanted to.

We must keep this emotion in mind and, fingers crossed, aim to bring home the trophy in the World Cup in two years.

Congratulations to Spain; they’ve been outstanding throughout the tournament and their potential has been clearly demonstrated. It aches… That’s terrible.

Feeling terrible, he later posted to Instagram. It has been a privilege to compete for my nation at this level, and I am grateful to everyone who has cheered us on.
